Who Was Elliott Smith? - An Underground Alchemy Documentary 

Neither John or Paul were even top 10 best songwriters of their time what makes you think they're the best of all? You're funny

@@JesusGomez-ob2qt fair point! I personally don't consider them the best, I just know a lot of people do. Tbh, I don't know who would be the best other than Elliott Smith lol

@@JesusGomez-ob2qt paul definitely was and is with his melodies

​@@JesusGomez-ob2qtBig enough joint you smoking pal? because that's really fucking dumb

Very different genre, but I’d put Difford and Tillbrook up there.

Damn! Did Elliott end up coming to your party? I often wish I'd met Elliott but I'd be scared to say something foolish in front of him.

@@Missjunebugfreak Yes., both of the guys came. He was pretty accepting of people and would not care if someone said something foolish. i wish you could have met him.

@@winterbeachesthat’s really lovely

This was before he was famous right?

of course i'm very glad you enjoyed. and yeah elliott really did deserve more attention, even now.

He was the main artist for that movie with 3 other songs throughout the film

So cool

thanks for the info!

L bozo learn to time travel

@@undergroundalchemy Yeah that’s exactly what I was talking about! :)

While I agree, it is indicative of Elliott's stature among slightly left-field sensitive kids. You don't get them calling Epic Soundtracks or David Berman from the Silver Jews "daddy"

I don't know if he would have gotten much bigger. Most likely he would just stayed in "indie land" but I've fantasized about him Ringo and Paul taking the stage somewhere sometime?

​@@vonclohk507 I mean, I guess we will never know but I have to believe he would have.. he played the Oscars and even though no one there knew who he was his music has that quality to it that if you hear it you know its good -- which is probably how he got nominated in the first place. And he kept evolving as a musician, he might have melancholy songs but they are by no means all slow and folky like Bon Iver, for example. The last album he worked on while he was alive - From a Basement - the way he blends what would otherwise be dissonant sounds and makes them beautiful is just more proof of the immense talent he possessed. Elliott Ringo and Paul playing together... now THAT would be amazing. Almost too much talent playing together I couldn't even imagine..

I really agree ❤

Angeles and waltz 2!

Can't forget his unreleased stuff like See You in Heaven, Either/Or (the song), and Stickman.

Add Roman candle and clementine

Kings Crossing too!

“steve from minecraft”, “this shits bussin” like why

thank you for the constructive criticism.

Absolutely

That's what's great about him. Make his art mean what you want it to. It's the whole point ❤

thanks for the feedback, we should've touched up on more.

99% of today's musician can't even write their own music while you bash a guy who wrote all of his music and played all of the instruments on his albums. even for a troll that's a moronic and pathetic take on someone who was respected and admired by many commercially successful musicians. Elliott said it himself, he wasn't meant to be famous. He never aspired to be, he just liked writing music.

​@@fondfarewell2 You sound like an edgy 12 year old who just discovered classic rock. Yep, Elliott was a washed up songwriter who couldn't branch out enough to pivot to other forms of music and as a songwriter couldn't write for other musicians so he petered out and had basically only 1 and a half good albums before he died. Btw kid, being respected by commercially successful musicians doesn't mean jack. If that was the case then Nickelback would be the ones gatekeeping musicians' careers.

As someone who knew him, that is not even remotely why he died.

A bag of hairy balls is definitely for you - eat a bag of fuckin hairy balls 😁
